GSET_FILL_INT_STYLE(3NCARG)

💖 GSET_FILL_INT_STYLE — bestie edition 💖

okay so this is a page from the NCAR GRAPHICS manual (yes, the whole manual, we're just vibing with one page of it), and it's all about gset_fill_int_style, aka the girl whose entire job is picking what goes inside your polygons. she's the fill-style bestie. she sets the fill style for polygons drawn with gfill_area. no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

gset_fill_int_style (Set fill area interior style) — sets the fill style of polygons drawn with gfill_area. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <ncarg/gks.h>

void gset_fill_int_style(Gfill_int_style fill_int_style);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

• fill_int_style — (Input) gives the style of fill to be used in subsequent calls to the gfill_area output primitive. the options are, and I'm listing every single one because we don't gatekeep:
  • GSTYLE_HOLLOW — hollow fill (the default). literally just an outline, she's giving ✨minimalist✨
  • GSTYLE_SOLID — solid fill. fully filled in, no gaps, ate. 🔥
  • GSTYLE_PAT — pattern fill (not implemented in NCAR GKS). like, she exists in the docs but she does NOT show up to the function. 💀
  • GSTYLE_HATCH — hatch fill. lines, lines, lines. 🌈

👑 USAGE 👑

so if you're going with fill style "Hatch", you're gonna wanna use gset_fill_style_ind to specify which type of hatch pattern you want — horizontal lines, vertical lines, etc. that's her whole thing, let her cook. 🫶

note: if you call gfill_area and generate an output graphic and you're looking at it like "why is this just a closed curve with no fill" 😭 — you probably let the fill choice default to hollow fill (aka no fill). that's not a bug bestie that's the default. check yourself before you wreck yourself. 🙈

⭐ ACCESS ⭐

to use the GKS C-binding routines, load the ncarg_gks and ncarg_c libraries. that's it. that's the whole access situation. 🔑
